France built an additional prison system, expanded and solidified the prison to serve as a place to detain patriots and revolutionary soldiers in the province and region.

A part of Quang Tri from Ben Hai River outward was liberated, the districts from Gio Linh back to Hai Lang became a new type of colony of the American empire. Quang Tri Town, including Quang Tri Ancient Citadel, became the political, military, economic and social center.

We were determined to keep the city, while the enemy tried to capture the city at all costs. Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives here, but their remains have not yet been retrieved because there was too much smoke, fire, and bombs. Their blood and bones have mixed into the rubble and rubble. That's why today at the center of the monument, people built a memorial to form a common grave for thousands of soldiers who fell during these fierce days and nights. This mass grave was designed according to the concept of yin and yang philosophy, which has a profound meaning to escape the souls of the deceased. There are 81 stairs going up, symbolizing 81 days and nights of fighting in Quang Tri ancient citadel. Source: Quang Tri Provincial Museum and Monument Management Center
